We just came back from an amazing few days at Sandy River and it could not have been more perfect! Everything is meticulously manicured and well kept up. The Tipi we stayed in (Dream Catcher) was beautiful and so well stocked with every essential imaginably.
Everyone was very attentive and saw to every need/request!
We enjoyed the distillery and the wood fired pizzas meatballs were to die for! The staff was totally AWESOME and we really enjoyed our zip course guide, Miles. He was so delightful and took such good care of us in the training aspect and on the course. It was truly a fun, calm and relaxing experience of which we all needed. We will definitely be back AND recommend y’all highly to our friends and family!
Thank you Mark, Miles, Mary Elizabeth and the rest of the gang at Sandy River for giving us the best experience EVER!

We planned a last minute overnight stay in the Dreamcatcher tipi with 4 teenagers. We enjoyed exploring the property and visiting with the farm animals. Although it was a cold day/evening, we enjoyed the fire pit and were extremely comfortable overnight. They provide you with everything you could possibly need. It was such a unique experience! I highly recommend!

Sandy River Distillery in Farmville, VA is an absolute must-visit. From the moment you arrive, the staff makes you feel welcome—knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about what they do. The wood-fired pizzas are outstanding and pair perfectly with their fantastic bourbon, which is smooth, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care.
Don’t miss the full experience: the ziplines are a blast and add a whole new level of adventure, and staying overnight in the teepees turns the visit into an unforgettable getaway. Great drinks, great food, great people, and a unique setting—Sandy River Distillery truly has it all.
Highly recommend. 🥃🔥🌲

Relaxing accommodations! My wife and I stayed in one of their teepees and we were very surprised by the modern rustic decor. We toured the distillery and our lunch was perfect. The pizza with Brie was great. A relaxing getaway for sure.

I took my family and their friends here last week for Spring Break and it was an absolute blast!
The guide was clear and concise in his instructions, very friendly and interactive and extremely helpful in every way!
The courses were a lot of fun and a great little work out as well.
